 Summary of the project

This is an Automate Window. We call it as “Bot-window “ It can open the window automatically
according to the environmental changes. We designed every part using Solid Works. There are 5
main parts. They are,
Sensor Holder
Display
Gear System
Logic Controller
Power Unit
Sensor Holder has a one rain sensor and a LDR sensor. Display can show what kind of operations
are doing at that movement in the unit. Gear System help to move the window. It has 4
combine wheels , one worm wheel and large inner wheel. In power unit we convert AC to DC,
and we get 12V , 7V and 5V as out puts. Other main job is it gave the same voltage to other
units when more than one unit connect one by one without voltage drop. The main part of our
unit is Logic Controller. It has 4 AND gates , 4 OR gates and 1 NOT gate. It acts like brain. So, it
gives commands to the motors according to the sensor holder signals.
We make these parts using 3d printer. Some circuits we made by our own hand and some
complicated circuits we made by “JCLPCB company.”

This is image of our circuits how connect with others.

 Risks and Roadblocks
Areas of failures we experienced in our project.
Scope
Time
Cost
Quality
Human resources

Scope :-
We must study lot of areas for our project. Main thing is gear calculation. In first time we
got wrong information about gear calculations, and we found lot of errors. Some
theories we couldn’t understand. Other things are we should get fully idea about
measurement and power. Other thing is we must learn lot of things about AC to DC
converting and increasing and decreasing the voltage.

Time :-
We planned to finish some parts within a month. But we could not finish them because
of lot of errors and we do not have perfect printing facilities. We make Some circuits
again and again. Some parts do not work properly so we could not go next step. Some
items not available in the markets.

Cost :-
We must spend lot of money on 3d printed parts. Some parts have some errors, so we
must print again and again. We burned lot of circuits. So, we must buy again and again.
We bought some wrong parts because of wrong calculations. Because of country
situation some parts prices going up very high. Because of that we must spend lots of
money more than we thought.

Quality :-
We try to increase our product quality, but we do not have enough facilities and we
must spend lot of money for it. So, we try to limit our product quality.

Human resources :-
We made everything by us. So, we must spend lot of time and effort to success some
parts. There are 4 members in our project group, and we divide everything among us.

 Highlights and Key takeaways
• We achieved lot of wins during this project. First of all we finished our gear system. We
spend lot of time and money to achieve that target.
• After lot of edits, we finish our display.
• We spend a week and to finish our sensor holder unit. We must give lot of efforts to
finish that.
• We test our half of Logic circuit and now we know our design is correct.

Project schedule
Now we have only a month so now we have to finish.
the power supply
Logic Circuit
Remote controller
So, we try to do these things as soon as possible. We plan to finish our Logic Circuit within a
one-week, power supply within 2 or 3 days. As the last step we planned to design our remote
controller part.
